Below given programs illustrate the DOMNode::isSameNode() function in PHP:
Program 1:
<?php // Create a new DOMDocument $dom = new DOMDocument(); // Create a paragraph element with a namespace $p_element = $dom->createElementNS( 'my_namespace', 'p', 'neveropen'); // Append the child to DOMDocument $dom->appendChild($p_element); // Check if the node is same $isSameNode = $dom->isSameNode($dom); // Check if the namespace is default or not if($isSameNode) { echo 'Yes, $dom is same to itself.'; } ?> |
Output:
Yes, $dom is same to itself.
Program 2:
<?php // Create a new DOMDocument $dom = new DOMDocument(); // Create a paragraph element with a namespace $p_element = $dom->createElementNS( 'my_namespace', 'p', 'neveropen'); // Append the child to DOMDocument $dom->appendChild($p_element); // Create another new DOMDocument instance $dom2 = new DOMDocument(); // Check if nodes are same $isSameNode = $dom->isSameNode($dom2); // Check if the namespace is default or not if(!$isSameNode) { echo 'No, $dom and $dom2 are different.'; } ?> |
Output:
No, $dom and $dom2 are different.
